+Introducing ElchOS
+##################################

+:status: draft
+
+ElchOS is a linux distribution with the purpose of providing a simple way to
+share disk storage and data in a streamlined fashion. The intend is to solve
+the 'Filesharing on the Chaos Communications Congress' Dilemma.
+
+Filesharing on the Chaos Communications Congress
+------------------------------------------------
+
+File Sharing on the congress works like that:
+
+1. there are quite a lot of people with somewhat potent servers and quite a lot
+   disk space (2tb and more). These people are willing to share their data
+   (e.g. linux distributions and so on) and even configure ftp access.
+2. these people put their servers either on the desk they are sitting or
+   putting them in the congress colocation.
+3. the servers get static ip addresses and may or may not land in the C3 Wiki
+   under: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/wiki/FTP . 
+4. servers in this list may or may not work correctly, have no anonymous
+   account or the queue is full or the servers are offline.
+5. everyone on the congress simply downloads torrents from the 'real' internet
+   because it is just so much faster.
